Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Every clique had a leader in it so there was no leader in theirs.\

And to respond: They thought Vee would look out for them and take care of them as long as they were loyal. They looked at it more like a sisterhood imo.

the black women didn't have any real pull in the prison aside from the intimidation factor...it makes sense that their need to have some power the way the whites and latinas did would outweigh their reservations with Vee.

what did seem unnatural to me: in a prison world, ...how they expected Vee to somehow take the blame for if anyone got caught? when trackstar got sent to the SHU and they were all looking at Vee like "help"...for what?

What were the reasons everyone went along with Vee? I thought she did a masterful job with Crazy Eyes but I don't remember how in the hell she manipulated the others into following along. All I know is it felt unnatural as hell.

Can anyone break that down?

SpoilerI remember her telling them that they'd get power and respect but was that the sole motivator? If so, that's pretty weak/trite and partially why I didn't buy that storyline. It would have been much better if she would have manipulated each person in a unique way, especially since we know their backstories and weaknesses.

Bruh it's prison...these are weak people.

Folks fightin' over sellin' mascara and cigarettes.

They are weak but not weak in the same areas. She exploited weaknesses with a child Taystee and an emotionally unstable Crazy Eyes. But the other 2? They were out of character as henchwomen with loyalty only to Vee.
